Francis Evelyn Anderson (1752–1821) was a British Army officer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1774 to 1784.
[1] Anderson’s brother Charles had changed his name to Anderson-Pelham when he succeeded to the estates of an uncle in 1763.
On the strength of his brother’s interest, Anderson was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Great Grimsby in the 1774 general election.
Anderson was defeated at the 1784 general election which was predicted by King George III when he wrote to Pitt on 30 March.
‘I understand ... Beverley is so offended with Major Anderson, that any fresh man would probably succeed there’.
